Central va officaly skipped autum this year, 80f highs into the second week of november then first week of december hard frost every night. The low tomorrow is 16F that would be the low temp for the year most years. If i wanted to wear 2 sets of longjohns and 3 pairs of socks i'd move back to michagan at least they dont tax groceries up there

The weather is getting wild. I saw a paper from a couple of years ago that suggested larger variability in weather was a precursor to a step change in climate and I think that's the direction we're headed.

I don't like the sound of that, not one bit.

Exclusive: Trump may cancel US Postal Service electric mail truck contract, sources say

Dec 6 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's transition team is considering canceling the United States Postal Service's contracts to electrify its delivery fleet, as part of a broader suite of executive orders targeting electric vehicles, according to three sources familiar with the plans.
The move, which could be unveiled in the early days of Trump’s administration that begins on Jan. 20, is in line with Trump's campaign promises to roll back President Joe Biden’s efforts to decarbonize U.S. transportation to fight climate change – an agenda Trump has said is unnecessary and potentially damaging to the economy.

First tornado warning EVER in... San Francisco?! That's like hail on top of Mount Everest!

Weather is definitely getting crazy!
One touched down near my old childhood hometown. I grew up down the road.

Your friendly buzzkill.

This is gonna be rough for Europe especially. Much of the continent is the same latitude as Canada rather than the US. Less well studied are the effects in the Caribbean but if I were to guess, warmer temperatures and slower currents mean higher sea levels, more intense hurricanes and less suitability for agriculture.

That's gonna suck for Florida, brother.

The rich are trying their damndest to get richer, try to catch up to Elon, f' the environment.

The project was voted on previously and rejected. The environmental study stated the project shouldn't go forward.

The government changed the description of the mine to muddy the waters (pun intended) and allow it to proceed. The latest vote wasn't even in the same district, go figure. Burn that coal!
